酒店选择营销渠道模式还需要有优秀的渠道成员，酒店营销渠道的管理与控制
    酒店如果选择并确定了间接营销渠道的模式，还需选择优秀的渠道成员，才能成功地利用中间渠道开展相应的营销活动。渠道成员可能是个人、组织或者企业单位，对酒店而言统称为客户。由于酒店中间商数量众多，规模、实力、经营特点都有所不同，所以，酒店务必仔细了解未来中间商的相关信息（如行业背景、信用情况、资金、业务技术、经营水准等），进行综合评价：
   （1）中间商的销售能力。中间商的营销经验和能力与市场反馈搜集对酒店产品的销售影响很大，建议选择最接近酒店目标顾客的中间商。一个优秀中间商能利用有效的营销手段管理顾客购买，且拥有成熟的销售网络，不仅便于顾客购买，还能及时向酒店反馈最新的市场信息，如客人偏好流向、旅游发展趋势等，为酒店制订正确的营销策略提供更有效的依据。
   （2）该中间商的经营范围与形象是否与本酒店目标一致。未来的中间商应有本酒店VI设计产品的市场，或者非常愿意去开拓此类目标市场。如本酒店目标是东南亚旅游市场，则选择以经营东南亚旅游团为主的旅行社较为理想。另外，如果酒店追求高质量、高品位、奢华高档的形象，选择中间商时也应仔细   别，以免达不到预期的销售效果，却适得其反。
   （3）中间商的经营实力和诚信度。中间商的经营规模、财务调度能力好坏、诚信状况是否良好都是酒店必须考虑的内容。通过其经营规模可以预测它能为本酒店带来多少预订量和销售额；其财务状况可以反映它抗风险能力，财务状况不好，一旦出现问题会影响酒店的正常经营；中间商的诚信也十分重要，过去，国内有的酒店由于不了解国外旅游代理商的信誉情况，使得大量账款付之东流。对于直接委托境外旅游中间商代理销售的酒店，尤其应该重视这个问题，最好通过我国驻外使馆或其他机构进行调查，这才是良好合作的重要基础。
    尽管有这么多原则需要几近苛刻地选择，但有时决定权并不一定掌握在酒店手中，旅游中间商同最终顾客一样拥有选择权，尤其是那些规模大、实力强、信誉好的旅游中间商。
    选定旅游中间商开展代理销售业务过程中，还应加强日常的渠道管理与控制，以促进有好和谐的合作关系，减少渠道摩擦与冲突，取得相对理想的营销效果。
